This summer, students who want to get ahead in their studies and continue toward graduation can take advantage of Waubonsee's high-demand summer courses, which are available at 40% of the cost of similar courses offered at four-year colleges. More than 145 courses are offered, most of which are transferable general education courses.
“I am a nursing student at Saint Ambrose University. During the summer I take classes at Waubonsee because it’s only 15 minutes away from my family,” said Miranda Sida. “This allows me to not only work, but also spend time with them while I’m trying to further my education during the summer.”
Last year, Waubonsee welcomed roughly 1/3 of summer course enrollments from students enrolled at other institutions during the academic year. Students who enrolled in summer courses at Waubonsee came from universities such as the University of Illinois at Chicago, North Central University, DePaul University, Grand Valley State University, and Michigan State University. Popular summer courses include Psychology, Communication, English, Math, Sociology, and Biology.
With MyChoice, students can choose from five different ways to take courses based on what works best for their schedule. These options include face-to-face, online, hybrid, sync online, and flex classes. “The closeness and flexibility of Waubonsee allows me to work at a hospital to help build up my resume while still taking college level classes,” said Sida.
Most summer courses start on May 20, June 10, or July 8. To learn more, visit waubonsee.edu/summer.
